Within the
cohesive block master plan, the building makes connections to
several layers of the surrounding site: the plaza, the bus-stop,
and the elevated metro.

The intertwining
of hotel and performance space accommodates a spectrum of adaptability:
spectator/performance relationships can blur in the spaces.

Site Plan.
Lobby 1 is conceived by the architects as an extension of the
public plaza, an open foyer with urban amenities from subway
passes to staged performances.

Room 1 and
Lobby 2 Plans. Separating the lobbies are tightly packed structural
room floors which accommodate both the buildings infrastructure
and a matrix of rentable rooms, creating varying adjacencies
between users and guests.
